Finland's King Satan has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of industrial, symphonic black and death metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Occult Spiritual Anarchy" which will be released in April as a joint effort between Blood Blast Distribution, Electric Spark Records an d Hemelvlam.
Elements of industrial start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while spoken word parts can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording. When keyboards and synths are utilized they also add in some symphonic touches and the vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Shouting vocals are also a very huge part of the recording along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads bringing in more of a traditional rock/metal style when they are utilized as well as a few tracks also adding in a small amount of female vocals. The production sounds very professional while t he lyrics cover Satanism, occultism, paganism, Philosophical, Blasphemy, Dark Humour and Nihilistic Absurdism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from King Satan and if you are a fan of industrial, symphonic black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Left Hand Path Symphony" "Human Sacrifice" "Beyond God" and "Spiritual Anarchy". 8 out of 10.
